25 of our favorite snow photos from the Baltimore-area blizzard

Baltimore Sun Media Group photographers and reporters took hundreds of pictures while covering last weekend’s record winter storm. Here are 25 of our favorite staff images of the snowfall and aftermath, taken throughout the Baltimore region.

The Mount Vernon residents were not having much luck, as the truck can weigh upwards of 30,000 pounds while empty. It got stuck as a strong blizzard pummeled the region Saturday.
